[ Anglossic Qabbala (Aq) ]

The Anglossic Qabbala (abbreviated Aq-) encodes alphanumeric strings into Integers using the Oecumenic Order. The literals (in order) { 0, …, 9, A, …, Z } are mapped according to their ordered index Oec(c) ∈ { 0, …, 35 } , starting at 0 ( Oec(0) = 0 ) and ending at Z ( Oec(Z) = 35 ).

A arbitrary alphanumeric string S of length n is encoded into a Integer Aq(S) = sum from i = 0 to n of Oec(S_i), this is sometimes refereed to as plexing and we say that “Aq-S evokes Aq(S) ” . To encode strings for the CCRU Numogram, the evoked result from plexing is treated as a string and is repeatedly plexed until a base₁₀ literal is evoked.

This holds for any string S ⊂ { 0, …, 9, A, …, Z } . If a string consisting of lower- and uppercase characters is to be used, the whole string is translated into uppercase characters.

The above lookup table [tbl.1] will speed up the mapping.

  23       20     9        1       5
    \     /        \        \       \
   S N A K E    =   9 5   =  1 4   = 5
  /    |    \          \        \
28    10     14         5        4

Aq-SNAKE = 23 + 23 + 10 +  20 + 14 = 95          
         = Aq-95  =  9 + 5  =  14
         = Aq-14  =  1 + 4  =  5
         = Aq-5   =  5

Here Aq-Snake (= SNAKE) evokes (95) under Anglossic Qabbala. To encode it for the Numogram 95 is reduced by plexing Aq(’95’) = 14 , Aq(’14’) = 5 . Here Aq-Snake evokes 5 in the Numogram, corresponding to the 5 + 4 Syzygy Katak, and the innermost curve of the Barker Spiral (its terminal node). Barking Snakes has been described as a Zone-5 totem animal [3]

[ Primitive Numerization (Pn) ]

Primitive Numerization is the process of counting letters of a string.

ZERO  = 4, ONE   = 3, TWO   = 3,
THREE = 5, FOUR  = 4, FIVE  = 4,
SIX   = 3, SEVEN = 5, EIGHT = 5,
NINE  = 4

ONE + EIGHT = NINE + ZERO
TWO + SEVEN = NINE + ZERO
THREE + SIX = NINE + ZERO
FOUR + FIVE = NINE + ZERO

(Pn 3 + 5 = 4 + 4 = 8)
(Pn 3 + 5 = 4 + 4 = 8)
(Pn 5 + 3 = 4 + 4 = 8)
(Pn 4 + 4 = 4 + 4 = 8)

Using Pn on the English words for the base₁₀ (Numogrammic) literals [1] we can see the consistency of the numogram emerging (0 + 9 = 1 + 8 = 2 + 7 = 3 + 6 = 4 + 5) [fig.4] [fig.3] [14].

In Qabbala, semiotics is assumed to be cryptographic in nature, without any original encoding, always encapsulating some kind of subliminal and hidden meaning.

This is reminiscent of a closed formal system.

Which in terms of isomorphism is similar to that of Gödel Numerals in terms of representation and meaning. Gödel Numerals are used in Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorems as products of prime numbers to code for all the characters / operations in a formal system, allowing for the language to talk about itself mathematically [15].

A statement could thus be described as a unique number, and reasoned about mathematically within its own formal system..

You can define the meaning of a sign as its difference to other signs, its unique features, originality, symbolic value etc. In large societies meaning implies difference. The growth in population and their interconnection makes it significantly harder to stand out and define yourself. What makes you different from everyone else? What makes you, you?

At its core. A light blue glow of euphoria, radiating…

Right now we are experiencing a society where the life-cycle of commodities keeps decreasing and our techno-cultural advancements exponentially keeps increasing at an accelerating pace. Plotting the advancement over time yields a curve rising like a massive tsunami wave.

Waves of hype ripple through the feedback systems of the Net.

Chaotic currents collide in Cyberspace, swarms of signs, trends, subcultures navigate the feedback circuits, razor-blaze swirls, cutting everything to pieces, reconfigure, reassemble.

Markets are built upon a set of feedback loops between consumers and producers. The feedback loops accelerate Research & Development since customers want the best product, biggest spectacle and popular aesthetics, while the companies want the biggest appeal to customers.

Tools, such as smartphones have achieved a powerful symbolic value. The Smartphone market has evolved into a system of subscriptions, where each version aims to replace the previous, featuring updated designs, higher specifications and gimmick features.

The Human Security System is a Cybernetics of Security, where cyberpositive objects are an enemy to the Human kind and the critiquing of alienation has been supplanted where the population is foreign to them self [2]

Clothes die every time they are worn, fashion takes the past apart and resemble it towards the future. Meaning means difference, difference means movement. The last twenty years we have incrementally borrowed fashion from the past (presenting it in a higher resolution). But since the fashion industry moves so fast, we move through the evermore recent past. When we eventually reach the present, will we continue forward?

The past is now converging with the future.

You spend your day in hypespirals, living like a wasp, a functional component in a swarm-machine.

The Virtual is now. We spend our days dissociating through a commodified (Hyperreal) sub-reality. Our phone has become something more abstract then just a pocked computer or a tool.

“Technology remains a key driver of drug markets, with darknet markets, social media and instant messaging apps, and communication and encryption technologies now being used to some extent to facilitate the sale of drugs […]” (12)

Factories to on a large scale produce synthetic cathinones raise up in the China, Netherlands and Poland. Computer models simulating neural receptors generate the most euphoric (and deadly) synthetic cathinones and designer drugs. In 2021 370 new psychoactive substances were detected moving around the markets.

Hidden in the katacombs of the subterranean underground, stickers [tags and graffiti, etc] act as murmurs, myths, memes or whispers etc. A sticker is a semiotic sign often carrying a message or some obfuscated meaning. Sticker Cartography emerges as one collects images of stickers and other related information, and from that tries to build up a map of their interconnections.

Stickers act as micro-narratives, a medium for hyperstitional propagation, burying itself into the subconscious, infecting the mind through k+feedback
k[oding for cybernetic]+[positive]feedback. Where repeated exposure reinforces the stickers subjective interpretation as a representation (sign/idea) in the subconscious. Eventually the idea enters the conscious mind as a thought which pops up randomly, Free-will goes MIA in memetic guerilla warfare.

Acting as analog hyperlinks they point to different cultural phenomena. By mapping the location of stickers geographically and studying their frequency and coordinates one can triangulate a possible origin of the actors and the cybernetic interactions between different ideologies. Stickers often play a part in cyberculture (where cyberspace leaks into meatspace).

[1] Don't Disrupt Original Stickers

Frequently occurring stickers may be archived as their (semiotic / hyperstitional) effects [on society] are not significantly altered [much] by their absence. However once one sticker has been collected, any identical stickers should only be photographed and their position logged.

[2] Breaking Stickers

Do not remove stickers that will break during the process as it will be rendering them useless for archival and analysis. Stickers made out of paper are hard to remove. The plastic ones are often much easier to remove, but can rip sometimes, and the edges can rip. The older a sticker is, the harder it will be to remove, some stickers which have been exposed to much rain are also hard to remove without ripping them.

[3] Preserve Original Stickers

Stickers that you really like or with a interesting motive, mystical intent or strong message etc can sometimes be collected (hard not to). However try to not do it too often, since they fulfill a purpose and play a active role in meatspace underground cyberculture.

[4] Don't Destroy Stickers

Never cover stickers with other stickers, graffiti, or destroy them unless it is a tactical [political] move, such as to counter toxic / radical ideologies.

[5] Safe / Lasting Storage

Archived stickers should be maintained in their original form. Encasing them in transparent plastic sheets can enhance durability without compromising their semiotic value. If you are not experienced with applying sticky plastic sheets (such as tape) you should be careful or use non sticky ones.

[6] Save the Location

Log the GPS coordinates (you can utilize apps on your phone for this) or an description of where it was located so you on a later date can approximate the coordinates. Furthermore you can long the date (with minute accuracy) =[its pretty fun to go through your collection and see you found a sticker at 0500].

[7] Legality Of Razorblades / Tools

Consider the tools used for the sticker removal. Sharp objects (such as knifes, utility blades, surgical knifes and razor blades) may be illegal and legally considered a weapon. Often any form of legally defined damage to personal or public property may cause legal complications. You should thus research your local laws and maybe use a slim piece of metal instead of razor blades if you are unsure. Being high / drunk while carrying a potential (or grayzone) tool (such as a razorblade) might make the police more serious about thinking of a weapon charge, since your rationality is decreased. You should learn to explain why you carry the tool which most often makes the police show some leniency, and usually not giving you a charge.

[7] Legality Of Razorblades / Tools

(I am not giving legal advice) Consider the tools used for the sticker removal. Sharp objects (such as knifes, utility blades, surgical knifes and razor blades) may be illegal and legally considered a weapon. Often any form of legally defined damage to personal or public property may cause legal complications. You should thus research your local laws and maybe use a slim piece of metal instead of razor blades if you are unsure. Being high / drunk while carrying a potential (or grayzone) tool (such as a razorblade) might make the police more serious about thinking of a weapon charge, since you

[8] Don't Look Suspect

Preferably conduct removals calmly, without attracting to much attention since some people can misinterpret the removal as you placing a sticker or be spooked causing unnecessary confrontations. From my experience old people are most likely to confront you or be spooked. People (<30 / millenials / zoomers) usually don’t care.

[9] Photography

Always photograph or film (to capture stickers placed on round surfaces for example) stickers before removal as the sticker might break during removal and to save the context of the sticker (for example if its placed on a sign, wall or window (which might change the message or experience of the sticker)). Pictures can also store the date of removal and location of the sticker.

[10] Classification

Group collected stickers by (where possible) actor, location, date or style and create (Categories / groups). The (categories / groups) will enhance analysis, cartographic plotting and allow triangulation (which might point to a possible area of origin for the actors).

[11] Publically Available Data

Keep the archived stickers accessible to “the public” which provides data for larger analysis, art and a (glimpse into / cartography of) (contemporary) cyberculture Secrecy undermines the free flow of information [“information wants to be free”] and won’t contribute to the accelerating cultural and technological progress.

[12] Tactical Archiving

Radical or extremist stickers (which you disagree with) should (most often (sometimes obfuscating the sticker with a marker spreads a message)) be archived rather than destroyed where possible as their archival provides more value then their destruction. The archival and obfuscation of stickers can send a message, which might be desirable depending on your (example; ideological / political) beliefs.

• [13] Design Your Own Stickers ::o Start designing your own stickers and deploy them strategically (to provide a message, /target of influence etc). Try and use the sticker as a medium for tactical memetic semiotics, message spreading or something which has a cybernetic relation with meatspace. Injecting rumors, whispers and murmurs into contemporary culture.
  

Connected into the computer, we couple ourself into the interface to the virtual, we simulate our experience as human beings in the machine and live as virtual bodies (organ)ized into a system of consumption.

The very embodied Hyperreality of simulation the late Baudrillard wrote about. While the medium originally was marketed and theorized to allow a BWO (body without organs), mass- adoption, commercialization and commodification territorialized its potential in the late 90s.

The question now is how you can preform an digital autopsy, remove yourself from the implied restrictions, and achieve the ultimate Deleuzian potential.

[1] Truncate a standard deck of playing cards.

• Remove all Royal cards except the Queens.
  
• Remove all Tens and Jokers.
  

The resulting deck should have 40 cards in it, Where Queens are
given the value of zero. hThe deck should now have cards with the
signified values 0 through 9 from all four houses..

[2] Deal five cards face up (in the shape of the The Atlantean Cross), these cards are refered to as S₁.

Another set of five cards S₂ are dealt with face down (under the
cross, in a straight line).

[3] Turn over the cards of S₂ one at a time, and pair the card with
one card in S₁, adding the values of the cards to construct pairs
summing to nine (the pairs are called Syzygies (and refers to those
present in the Numogram) [written as 9:0, 8:1, 7:2, 6:3, 5:4].

• All the cards cannot be paired, remain in there initial position.
  
• Each round (called Aeon) last until the first zero or negative
  result.
  

[4] The Score is calculated by scoring the difference of each Syzygy
positivly, that is, subtracting the smaller card from that of the
larger cards singified value; ( 5:5 = 0, 7:2 = 5, …, 9:0 = 9 ) then
adding the result to the score. \\ Unpaired cards are scored negativly
by their (raw) values and are subtracted from the score ( 0=0, 1=1,
2=2, …, 9=9 ) The resulting score can be positive or negative, if
negative the Game is finished. If positive, continue to step 5.

[5] Repeat step 2, with the deck of the remaining cards and accumulating the
score between Aeons. When pairing a card, place it on the syzygetic twin
present in the The Atlantean Cross.

0.6 The call to adventure happens every time we
start a new cycle of our own lives. It is but the
potential for another act of the person we are.
The call to adventure is the repetition of the
cycle yet again but with a small change in
cognition, this time you are aware of
everything your sense bomb into your bloated
synapses.The Bulk of the experience is at the top
(Not the same top in which the call to adventure
happens, however

Here a lot of information is
accumulated, the body becomes swole and
disgusting, afterwards the cycle
continues torwards the center of the
east (China), this lines up with hell
but it is not a national hell, just a
personal one. Afterwards the salt of
the earth grows thinner and the liquid
is dejected by the salt. The loss of
fluid causes the bones to stick out.

This cycle isn’t terribly complicated. Just two
and a half phases with the potential of
escape. The escape of course is only possible if
one accepted the call to adventure in the 0 top,
specifically the 0.6 top. If this wasn’t achieved,
the whole cycle can be described as hell over and
over and over and over and over again.

The acceptance of the 0,6 doesn’t happen in linear
time however, it is outside time, outside the
cycle. Breaking the cycle cannot happen from
within the cycle. It has to be accepted from
without, which is perfection because this also
means that it can come from the unlikeliest
places, for example another human cycle or another
flower.
